For those still tracking this thread:
Easy Install method is still not working 23 days after originally reporting the problem.

Hi @bkm!
I’m not a developer. Saying that, I’m using Contabo since a couple of years and actually using easy install method. It’s having these warnings [Release Note] ERPNext and Frappe Version 13.3.0 - #9 by krnkris but is working on new installs.
VPS with 4 vCPU Cores, 8 GB RAM and 200 GB SSD, using Ubuntu v20.04
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
adduser frappe
usermod -aG sudo frappe
su - frappe
export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
sudo apt-get install python3-minimal git build-essential python3-setuptools python3-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev wkhtmltopdf
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/frappe/bench/develop/install.py
sudo apt install python3-testresources
sudo python3 install.py --production --user frappe --frappe-branch version-13 --erpnext-branch version-13
cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench/
bench update
exit
To Multitenant:
Rename folder site1.local at /home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites to whatever domain name will be used
Replace site1.local at currentsite.txt
Replace site1.local at nginx.conf at cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench/config
Add hostname at /etc/hostname
Add hostname at /etc/hosts
Add hostname at cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/[site name]/site_config.json
Should look like this:
{
"db_name": "[site name]",
"db_password": "*********",
"host_name": "[domain name]"
}
sudo apt-get install certbot
sudo systemctl stop nginx
sudo certbot --standalone --agree-tos --domain [domain name] -n -m [your email] certonly
sudo systemctl start nginx
If missing, add the following to cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/[site name]/site_config.json
{
"ssl_certificate": "/etc/letsencrypt/live/[domain name]/fullchain.pem",
"ssl_certificate_key": "/etc/letsencrypt/live/[domain name]/privkey.pem"
}
cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench
bench setup nginx
sudo service nginx reload

Thank you.

I logged in my system through the browser, configured Admin user, and after a few days (not touching anything) I log in so I can find out how to setup my custom domain and the ERP system is offline. It doesn’t auto-start anymore on VPS reboot, when I use systemctl status supervisor, mariadb and nginx all are active. It says the [ip] does not exist when opening:
https://i.imgur.com/TxD2ame.png
Using the ports 8000, 80, 443, all give “Connection refused” (my supervisor config uses port 8000 but it was working just with the ip). The main error seems to be:
redis_socketio.1: Could not create server TCP listening socket 127.0.0.1:12000: bind: Address already in use
That error appears here, this is what happens when I do bench start: (sudo bench start does same thing)

I kinda feel like a noob for this, but it’s not even my fault since I didn’t even touch the system and it breaks mysteriously by itself.

Trying these steps exactly as it is but just version-12 is used and username is as per my requirement.
Contabo Ubuntu-20.04 I hope it works.
Will share the feedback soon.
First, nginx and supervisor does not have anything to do when you use bench start (you are in develop mode). Nginx and supervisor are only used on production mode.
Second, When you are in develop mode, your system will not restart automatically (when you use bench start).
If you want ERPNext to start-up automatically when VPS reboots, you must be in production mode. You use bench restart in production mode.
There are some discussions here on what is the difference between develop and production mode.

Update:
I installed python3.6 and switch bench env to it and then installed all requirements for erpnext.
even did
pip install cython as it was missing still getting the same error
Error Log
It looks like you don’t have erpnext / frappe installed.
Not yet. The only thing I have working is the 24 steps posted in this thread. The Easy Install is still broken.

I have never tried Ubuntu 20.10. That is not the LTS release so I tend to stay away from the non-LTS releases because they tend to change to often.

In the file below:
/etc/redis/redis.conf
Change bind 127.0.0.1 ::1 as bind 127.0.0.1
and run install.py again
Thanks for the clarifications, I didn’t know I was in dev mode since bkm’s tutorial was setting up for production. I can’t seem to find the documentation I want about the ERPNext app itself, inside Bench’s site. Also, the fact that I just now started a Linux course probably has something to do with my problems. That’s why I say, thanks for the help. I’ll search more about that.
Documentation began to make more sense much later. But it helped that I read it. Meantime, if you feel in a dead end anytime, just post in this forum.

Great guide!! 
trying to install frappe without ERPNext.

Welcome to the community @alonbr
Happy to hear that you were able to use this to get a success story in your ERPNext adventure.
Thanks for posting your results.
